Re: WSOP Bad Beat Story

What do you think would have happened if you tried to play the hand out pretending you didn't notice that there were two 8s?

It just so happens that there was a very well respected local player that just walked into the room when this hand occurred. This fellow is a very good friend of Mason Malmuth. No it wasn't David Sklansky. I'll give Mason a clue. He's a pretty damn good golfer. Anyway I posed the question to him concerning moving in. First let me say that I'm the wrong guy for anyone to ever bet on making this kind of move. The thought never entered my mind. I asked my Golfer buddy because one of the players at the table suggested just that. Move in all of your chips and hope everyone folds and then on the next hand point out that you think there is something wrong with the deck.
Anyway my buddy said that he tought that the WSOP could and just might ban someone from playing if they pulled such a move and were caught. I like that thought. I hope everyone reading this accepts that as the way things should be and refrains from any angle shooting at all in any tournament or poker game. Oh what a dream, sigh!

it was the casino that screwed it up.

Does that matter? Sure if it cost me a significant amount of money I might emphatically ask for restitution from the Casino. But I'm not going to knowingly cheat ever no matter who's fault it is. Yes, it is a moral issue.
